Estonian timber prices showed mixed movements in September 2026, with standard pine and spruce sawlogs remaining relatively stable while birch veneer logs continued to gain value. Smaller-diameter softwood assortments also recorded increases, following a sharp recovery over the summer.<\/p>\n

Spruce sawlogs reached \u20ac109.94\/m\u00b3 in September, compared with \u20ac104.95\/m\u00b3 for pine sawlogs. Birch veneer logs rose to \u20ac167.48\/m\u00b3, their highest level since March 2025.<\/p>\n

The data indicate a widening difference between timber assortments. Standard coniferous sawlog prices have changed little in recent months, while smaller-diameter logs, birch veneer logs and pulpwood have recorded stronger gains.<\/p>\n

Softwood sawlog prices remain stable<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spruce sawlog prices increased by 0.3% month-on-month to \u20ac109.94\/m\u00b3, while pine sawlogs rose by a similar percentage to \u20ac104.95\/m\u00b3. Compared with September 2025, spruce sawlogs were 3.7% more expensive, whereas pine sawlogs were marginally cheaper.<\/p>\n

Smaller-diameter pine logs remained at \u20ac88.67\/m\u00b3, unchanged from August and 5.9% below their level a year earlier. Smaller-diameter spruce logs reached \u20ac95.28\/m\u00b3, representing a 1.7% annual decline.<\/p>\n

The most significant developments were in the smallest softwood assortments. Pine poles increased to \u20ac72.13\/m\u00b3 and spruce poles to \u20ac72.63\/m\u00b3. Both categories gained approximately 2.7% during September.<\/p>\n

Compared with June, pine pole prices have risen 35.1%, while spruce pole prices have increased 36.1%. The Estonian market report links this development partly to higher pulpwood prices, which have strengthened competition for smaller-diameter timber.<\/p>\n

Birch veneer logs continue to recover<\/strong><\/p>\n

Birch veneer logs increased by 2.5% in September to \u20ac167.48\/m\u00b3, up from \u20ac163.41\/m\u00b3 in August. Prices were 9% above September 2025 levels.<\/p>\n

Standard birch logs reached \u20ac108.11\/m\u00b3, an increase of 0.5% during the month and 6.3% year-on-year. Smaller-diameter birch logs remained unchanged at \u20ac75\/m\u00b3, although they were 7.1% more expensive than a year earlier.<\/p>\n

Grey alder sawlogs recorded the largest monthly percentage increase among hardwood assortments, rising 14.5% to \u20ac53.24\/m\u00b3. The report attributes this adjustment to the previous price level having become too low relative to firewood prices.<\/p>\n

Aspen sawlogs declined by 1% to \u20ac59.91\/m\u00b3, leaving prices 25.8% below September 2025. Black alder logs fell by 1.3% to \u20ac64.91\/m\u00b3, a year-on-year decline of 7.6%.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pulpwood recorded some of the strongest annual price increases in Estonia's timber market.<\/p>\n

Birch pulpwood reached \u20ac71.60\/m\u00b3 in September, up 3.2% from August and 25.6% year-on-year. This was the highest level since early 2023, according to the Estonian market report.<\/p>\n

Pine and spruce pulpwood both reached \u20ac66.38\/m\u00b3, representing annual increases of 26.1% and 26.8%, respectively. Aspen pulpwood rose to \u20ac52.68\/m\u00b3, up 27.3% from September 2025.<\/p>\n

Over the preceding three months, birch pulpwood prices increased by 21.7%, aspen pulpwood by 16.5%, and softwood pulpwood by approximately 12%.<\/p>\n

Mixed firewood prices edged down 0.5% during September to \u20ac43.90\/m\u00b3, but remained 10.1% above their level a year earlier.<\/p>\n
